I've heard people talk about the wild Parrots here at the park. Well I witnessed it for myself just as you enter the structure in the palm trees there were 5 of them. Picture is not that great.

There are actually wild parrots all over most of Cental Orange County. Going from Orange, Santa Ana and Anaheim and other cities as well. Its a very strange myth on how they got here. Some say there was a pet store back in the 60s that caught on fire and they all got out and were able to breed over the years. Its still a mystery but they are not native to the area. They usually fly in groups and on a regular osscarion they show up in my Grandmothers backyard and they feed them...Pretty neat - Dave

Large groups of them fly above my appt complex to the tree across the street. I love seeing and hearing them. - dumbbunny 626.9 #300 2:19PM

Yes, we see them all the time! Gorgeous! - MrsSchnooks 3184.9 #39 11:20PM

Thanks Dave I've heard about them for years. This morning after parking on Donald level my husband pointed them out. They were quite loud and flying from palm to palm it was almost like they were playing with each other. Pretty interesting to watch. - Missymoo 699.4 #255 12:20PM

Okay boys and girls. That's a wrap. No more VMTs here. In my opinion (mine and mine alone), the Lounge has become a sad, empty and pale imitation of its former glory days. I will continue making VMTs (as I enjoy the creative outlet) and post them to my Tumblr feed - http://tinyurl.com/bxj6dnv - so, if you want to see further plastic shenanigans, go there. C More...

all the fun is being removed in the lounge, enjoy the same 30 pictures a day everyday. - chris.

It breaks my heart to see what is happening here. The people (OGs if you will) who really got this going have disappeared; the folks who continued on the tradition have slowly been departing. I feel sad for those that never experienced the craziness, the jokes, the VMTs, and the friendships of the past. You kids have, and will, missed/miss so much of what was loved here. - Gia

This is so sad! Please sleep on it and reconsider! So many of us enjoy VMT and what you have to offer...I hope you stay. 😢 plus, as a person who isn't a vinyl girl...what is the use for them if not for the THEATER!! 😱 hope your heart heals and you change your mind.💗 - TinkerSchelle

When I do polkadots, I take a pencil with an eraser, and stick a sewing pin with a round colored top in the eraser.makes for a perfect dotting tool. Just out some nail polish on a paper plate, paper towel, whatever, dip the pinhead in the paint a bit, and dot it on a nail polished fingernail. Practice a bit on the plate first to get the sizes how you want. :) - flukefan 270.5 #1093 3:22PM

That sounds good, I can't wait to give it a shot when we go next! Thanks for the help! - ya0z3rs 8.6 #11209 3:26PM

I use a Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen, it works wonders!! - LizO 471.1 #425 7:42PM

Those are pricey for me...a pin, pencil, and bottle of nail polish are still cheaper than one of those pens. #frugalcollegestudent :) - flukefan 270.5 #1093 9:11PM

Yes they can be a little too much. I get them when they are on sale at Target. #momoftwo #disneylandannualpasses ;) - LizO 471.1 #425 9:48PM

Well first paint all nails red. With a toothpic cut off th tip and with white nail polish you can do the dots. And the Mickey after the red is dry do a thiker French tip but with the black and the 2 yellow dots. And your all done 😁💅 - JayyD0ll

Cool! Sounds easy enough! Did you use Revlon for all your colors? Do you find any one brand works best because you did such a fantastic job! It looks soooo clean! After all the waiting and drying, how long do you think it took from start to finish? Sorry for all the q's just REALLY excited to try it before our next upcoming visit! Thanks again for the post and sharing! 👍😃 - ya0z3rs 8.6 #11209 3:33PM

Registration for the Tinkerbell Half Marathon opens at 9 am CA time (12 EDT). Cost is $150 until July 17. The half is on Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 5:45 am. You can also register for the Neverland 5K that is on Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 5:45 am- cost is $65. The kids races are Saturday at 9 am and cost $20. You can register at http://tinyurl.com/cus5y7r

Debating on signing up for the 5k but considering I haven't even started training for the one in September (I don't run at all) it's probably not the best idea lol - ladylikesdisney

Haha SOS!! LLD- if I can finish a half marathon then I think you can totally do a 5K! - LilSterner 5033.0 #20 9:25PM

I started running in February, for the first time! I now run 3.5 miles regularly (more than a 5K). You can do it! I'm debating... I was planning to do the 5K because I just want it to be fun, BUT... I'm starting to look at training schedules for the half... my time is limited with the two kids. I'll wait and decide within the next month. - MoonWillow 381.1 #555 9:30PM

Be careful about waiting too long. The Disneyland half sold out in a month. This one could do the same. - LilSterner 5033.0 #20 11:04PM

Registration is open. I just completed my registration for this race. It was so much fun last year to see all the characters along the route! If you've never done a half marathon, consider the 5K! - LilSterner

There are races for the kids too broken down by age. - LilSterner 5033.0 #20 10:20AM

I'm in Santa Monica, but the pics are from a trip I took from OH to CA a few years ago. I had some route 66 books and kept jumping off the freeway to explore old parts that remain. - Westcoast 151.7 #2612 4:24PM
